Big sunset didn't let my last attempt to go through, but the sunset in St Charles today was beautiful.

I won't be flying an American flag, I'll be flying this Illinois flag by @harebrained.bsky.social to show my loyalties and my seriousness.

Here's a pic from 1885 of the building collections.lib.uwm.edu/digital/coll...

According to the building this is the Colby & Abbott building in Milwaukee on Mason Street. The facade is crazy -- cement. But it's covering brick -- you can see it in the upper corners. And the rest of the building is painted brick. What the heck?

This looks like some sort of camera angle thing, but it's not. This is Denail in front of a pickup truck in Milwaukee, fully a few inches lower than it's hood.

I was racing bikes in Minneapolis this weekend at the SSCXWC and was happy with how popular my hand up stickers saying 'Protect Trans Lives' were, and also happy to see Chloe Spritz celebrated by the whole crowd in her win of the women's category.

Also telling folks in states who's discrimination laws don't allow trans discrimination to not use USAC.

This year I've made like 150 buttons and 100 stickers that say Protect Trans Lives. I've shared the buttons with anyone who'll take one, especially strangers who mention them. You can just do things, no one is stopping you.

Just saw a motorcycle critical mass go down rando and saw folks on motorcycles corking the cars trying to interleave with them.

I live in the loop/ West loop and just got this racist access permit in my email, matching what other Chicago loop residents are reporting.

My recommendation is ride your bikes in -- I saw a decent number of flags on bikes last year not getting stopped.

Some of us remember all too well.

My pics are terrible, but has anyone else seen oak parks bike boulevard's?

They don't feel great.
